Materials, especially advanced materials, are the backbone and source of prosperity of an industrial society” (Materials 2030 Manifesto). The Green Deal and the Digital Decade establish high-priority policies for Europe, where 70% of all technical innovations are directly or indirectly attributed to advanced materials. Lightweight and high-strength materials have consistently played a key role in the construction of fuel-efficient and high-performing transportation structures. Lightweight materials such as glass and carbon fibres composites are commonly used due to their intrinsic properties such as high mechanical performance. However, the poor recyclability and recovery aspect poses a significant challenge. The end-of-life aspect of these materials is crucial, as when landfilled they release toxic substances into the environment. Moreover, minimising resource use, energy of manufacturing processes and optimising waste disposal of future advanced materials can help mitigate cost and product’s end-to-end footprint across its global lifecycle, thereby significantly improving its overall environmental performance. REPOXYBLE will create a new class of high-performance materials -bio-based epoxy composites targeting cost and energy effectiveness, recyclability and sustainability. REPOXYBLE assumes an upstream approach more efficient and effective than having to address deficiencies at the end of the product development process. This approach integrates product performance, multifunctionality, sustainability, safety and potential legal concerns, while there is still time to act, on the monomers’ synthesis, the resin formulation and the future composite design. REPOXYBLE is driven by two complementary market applications in the aerospace and automotive sectors.

材料，特别是先进材料，是工业社会繁荣的支柱和源泉”（材料2030宣言）。“绿色协议”和“数字十年”为欧洲制定了高度优先的政策，在欧洲，70%的技术创新直接或间接归功于先进材料。轻质和高强度材料一直在节能和高性能运输结构的建设中发挥着关键作用。轻质材料，如玻璃和碳纤维复合材料，由于其固有的特性，如高机械性能，被广泛使用。然而，较差的可回收性和回收方面提出了重大挑战。这些材料的报废方面是至关重要的，因为当被填埋时，它们会释放有毒物质到环境中。此外，最大限度地减少资源使用、制造过程中的能源消耗和优化未来先进材料的废物处理，可以帮助降低成本，减少产品在全球生命周期中的端到端足迹，从而显著提高其整体环境绩效。REPOXYBLE将创造一种新型高性能材料——生物基环氧复合材料，以成本和能源效率、可回收性和可持续性为目标。REPOXYBLE假设上游方法比必须在产品开发过程的最后解决缺陷更高效和有效。这种方法综合了产品性能、多功能、可持续性、安全性和潜在的法律问题，同时还有时间对单体合成、树脂配方和未来的复合材料设计采取行动。REPOXYBLE由航空航天和汽车领域两个互补的市场应用驱动。
